Wells Spicer
Wells W. Spicer (1831 – 1885) was an American journalist, prospector, politician, lawyer and judge whose legal career immersed him in two significant events in frontier history: the Mountain Meadows massacre in the Utah Territory in 1857; and the 1881 shootout commonly known as the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. After he left Tombstone, he returned to prospecting. He disappeared in 1885 or 1887.
== Early life ==
Spicer was born in Chemung, New York to William and Seba Spicer, both farmers of Presbyterian faith. He had two siblings: an older brother, George, and a younger sister, also named Seba. The family relocated to Tipton, Iowa when Wells was about 9 years old. As a young man, Spicer worked as a clerk for William H. Tuthill, a respected lawyer, banker, and storekeeper. Under Tuthill’s tutelage, Spicer was admitted to the Iowa bar in 1853. In the same year, Spicer and his associates began publishing the ''Cedar County Advertiser'';〔 Spicer became the sole publisher and editor the following year, eventually selling his successful newspaper four years later.〔 After unsuccessfully running as a Democrat for county prosecutor in 1854, Spicer became a Republican and won the race for county judge in 1856.〔 In July of the same year, Spicer married Abbie Gilbert and had a son, Earnest, a year later.〔 Abbie and Wells separated in 1876, although Wells considered himself still married years later.〔
